We are continuing our miniseries where we pay tribute to one of my favorite podcasts, Revisionist History, hosted by the well-known author Malcolm Gladwell.

In some situations, it may be correct, but often things get lumped into a simple category which may lead to things not being treated or managed most effectively. This is episode 8 of this series...

Artificial Intelligence. As a child of the 80s, I remember fondly one of my favorite movies and its subsequent sequels about when the machines gain self-awareness and take over.

National Athletic Training Month 2023: “Vanderbilt Edition”
It is March 2023, and it is National Athletic Training Month again. We are in year three of doing a special episode highlighting athletic trainers. Today on the podcast, I am joined by three athletic trainers who knew me at the very start of my career during my fellowship training at Vanderbilt. Today is the Vanderbilt Edition of our Athletic Training Episode. However, the Salter Harris I fibular fracture makes a clinical assumption the way we talk about it. But what does the research say about this injury? Today on the podcast, my guest may change your approach entirely to this...

Mindfulness
Mindfulness. We hear this word a lot these days. The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of mindfulness is the practice of maintaining a nonjudgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis. If your hospital system or workplace is like mine, you’ve probably heard of practicing mindfulness and even some modules at work you may have had to complete. But how is mindfulness relevant to our young athletes and is there a benefit to their overall health and even their sports performance. We’ll talk mindfulness today on the podcast.

ESports Medicine
In the world of sports medicine, I’m sure there are many who would question whether Esports should be considered an actual sport. Interestingly, I don’t think many of us would argue that cheerleading is a sport. However, many of us aren’t advocating to our state high school athletic associations to get it considered a sport in their eyes. Esports continue to grow. There are numerous concerns an Esport participant may face, and it’s certainly beyond the cute terms reported in the literature such as “Nintendinitis” or “Wii-itis” or “Wii knee” or “Playstation Thumb.” Today on the Podcast, we are going to...

Should Kids Run Marathons?
What kind of reaction do you get when you read a news article reading about a grade-school kid who's running a marathon? It typically doesn't get news coverage because it doesn't happen often, but if you look at comments on social media there are often lots of comments about the cruelty of it. The "craziness of the parents", even comments of it being child abuse. Let's bump it up to middle school or even highs chool. Does it get a similar reaction? Today on the podcast, we're going to touch on a somewhat controversial question: Is it ok to let...

What’s In Your Sideline Bag?
I remember the excitement I had receiving my first sideline team bag as a fellow at Vanderbilt. It was certainly a sturdy bag as I still have it and it has held up better than any bag I’ve purchased since then. It was stocked with various supplies and over the years has seen things come and go from it. As I’ve gone on further in my career, I honestly use it less and less. It’s more of my ‘credibility check’ object to have on me when covering a sports event. Working with very competent athletic trainers, I rely more...

Sports Hernia
Groin pain. Literally can be a pain to deal with as a sports medicine professional. The source and location of the pain can be vague and may lead someone down the wrong path to diagnosis and treatment. Most people in sports medicine have heard of a sports hernia. It is a source of groin pain but can be somewhat of a diagnostic challenge. Today on the podcast, we will cover the so-called sports hernia by a national expert on this topic.

The Adaptive Training Foundation: A Conversation with David Vobora
As sports medicine professionals, we interact with athletes at all levels. I was one of a handful of sports medicine physicians who started from a pediatric background and work with an NFL team as one of their team physicians. It was a part of my career I won’t ever forget, and no question gave me additional ‘street cred’, so to speak, in the sports medicine world. But for me it wasn’t about being in the locker room with some truly remarkable athletes. It was meeting some truly incredible human beings. Most people look to professional athletes as idols, as peopl...

The Athlete With Trouble Breathing
Athletes with trouble breathing are nothing new. Obviously, athletes may get winded with deconditioning or just a really hard work out. But what about when it isn’t expected? Commonly we think of asthma and as an asthmatic since college, it is a near and dear problem to me. But not all things that may seem like asthma are truly asthma. Today on the podcast we will discuss some things to consider when evaluating an athlete with concerns of being short of breath or with trouble breathing with exercise.

Iron Deficiency in Athletes
Iron Deficiency is an often under recognized source of reduced performance and fatigue particularly in female athletes. Endurance athletes seem to experience this more commonly, but we certainly do see other athletes who may have these struggles as well. But are we diagnosing and treating it properly? I’ve heard several speakers on this topic over the last 5 years and it has revolutionized my approach and thinking about the topic. Today we’ll expand your knowledge and perhaps provide you a different way of thinking of caring for your athletes who are iron deficient. Connect with The Host! Subscribe to This P...

Back pain in the young athlete. It’s something we often don’t think twice about in adults, but in kids, back pain in the active athletic kid is often a different beast. One of the more common conditions is the spondylolysis or a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis. It is a condition that can go undiagnosed for a long time.

On-Air: Building a College Radio Station: The WSUM Story & Remembering Dave Black
On February 22, 2002, at 2:22PM the airwaves of Madison, Wisconsin would never be the same again. College student radio could finally be considered legit and truly legal. Many may not realize that the landscape for student radio at the largest university in the state of Wisconsin was looking bleak for nearly a decade prior to officially turning on the transmitter for WSUM 91.7FM. There were legal battles, a town who practiced a strong push of “not in my backyard” policies, and a threat from the FCC to name a few of the challenges. Right before WSUM, the UW-Madison campus radio station was...

Common Hand Injuries
If your sports medicine practice is like mine or if you are an athletic trainer in the training room, you probably get a bunch of kids coming in with the presumptive diagnosis of a jammed finger. I don’t think my final diagnosis has ever been a jammed finger, but we use that term loosely with finger and hand injuries. It’s equivalent to the shin splints diagnosis of the legs. A term that’s used but could have many actual better descriptors or diagnoses for what is going on. Today on the podcast we are going to talk sports hand a...

How to Communicate with the Media
The media… it can be a love/hate relationship at times. We see a new publication talking about a medical breakthrough sensationalized in the media and our patients may get the wrong impression of what the impact really is. A perfect example of this was when the ‘concussion blood test’ approval by the FDA became news. Unfortunately, this was not correctly messaged and my response to it on social media was my first viral tweet I had as an effective rebuttal to offer further clarification as to what was actually happening. However, I’ve had great interactions with the media over the...

We are 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Just about a year ago we had an episode trying to gauge what would happen with fall sports.

We have seen a lot in recent years that seems to be polarizing this country. More than I have ever witnessed in my nearly half century on this planet. In the last few years, an area that seems to be growing in its polarization in the world of sports is how to approach a transgender athlete, particularly from the standpoint of participation. It’s easy for any of us to rush to a conclusion as to what may seem like the easy way out, as many states have been attempting….to just outright ban the participation of transgender athletes in spor...

Many young athletes who play the sport of football have dreams and aspirations of playing in the NFL someday. Whether those dreams and aspirations are realistic or not is a different story. I could easily go through the statistics of the continually shrinking odds of the success rates of moving from high school to college to the NFL; it’s kind of depressing if you really look at it if you are hoping to have your spirits lifted. But with all the concern these days about long-term play in the NFL and the risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CT...

Sports medicine professionals interact with athletes daily, many of whom have some underlying mental health issue. Commonly this may be anxiety or depression. We know that many athletes don’t feel comfortable disclosing their mental health issues or concerns or often they may go undiagnosed for long periods of time. They can affect athletic performance and the symptoms of many mental health issues may masquerade themselves as other medical problems leading to a delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Mental Health Awareness Month – A High School Athlete’s Story
Injuries can be devastating to an athlete of any age. It typically means loss in many respects… of goals, dreams, aspirations, normal physical activity, interaction with teammates and just being part of a team. Over the years, many tears have been shed in sports medicine offices over a diagnosis that results in that loss. But where does the athlete go from there. What supports do they have? Is there a parent who also expresses disappointment or frustration with the diagnosis, or do they express empathy? How about the coach? How about us as sports medicine professionals? Is this an athlete wh...
